Hey there,

so, i’ve installed my DAW Studio One 6 in an Ubuntu container in distrobox (podman) on my CachyOS machine. The program itself works fine, it just can’t utilize my jack server. On my machine i have pipewire-jack along qjackctl, which i also installed in the container.

My ALSA recognizes my interface: i can change my buffer and sample size accordingly and i have the correct amount of in and ouputs available. But when creating a track, no audio on my instruments gets through. My aduio interface works on Reaper (on my Cachy machine, not in a container) and gernerally i have no problems with audio.

Studio One is said to work only with jack. As aforementioned i have pipewire-jack installed, but when changing the audio device from ALSA to “JACK Audio Connection Kit“ in Studio One 6, JACK can not be initializted.

I’m don’t really know how to resolve this problem, maybe you got an idea?

Terminal Output when trying to change to JACK:

Warning: JACK: Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory

For example here I might guess that most of those bold/header texts are actually comments like ;
